Over the weekend of August 15-16 we made a 424.2 mile road trip wrapped around an excellent rally, gorgeous weather, great food. Add rubbing elbows with veterans and patriots of every era and motorcycles... lots of motorcycles - it was quite simply - freekin' awesome.
We had the honor of being in the presence of Gold Star Mothers and family members of Axelson and Kristensen - members of Seal Team Ten (Operation Red Wings) during the memorial ceremonies at the Salute to American Veterans Rally... a plaque was dedicated to the team on the veterans memorial in Cripple Creek's downtown park. It was a heartbreaking and humbling and vision blurring experience.
